Canon 35mm 2.8 "E.P." ltm Aperture issue...

[avidmaster]

Hi All,

Recently, I acquired a lovely Canon 35mm f2.8 E.P. ltm lens. The lens itself is in beautiful condition and enigmatic. Not a Serenar but chrome over brass.

Unfortunately, the lens has an issue. The aperture ring turns and hits the click-stops but the aperture itself is not opening. (See Photos 2 and 3) Methinks there might be an issue with aperture pin. Perhaps its broken or sheared? I know that these lenses separate and the aperture could be addressed without touching the complex helicoid but I want to provide due diligence for this jewel-like lens.

So, I am asking for recommendations for reputable repair facilities that I can ship the lens to for evaluation. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Mike

If an affiliation with RIT Photo House means he schooled in Rochester NY, Youxin Ye (Canton MA, near Boston) is likely within range — and is a good choice.

+1 Youxin serviced my lens with "almost" this same defect.
